Abstract

A control system including a detection device and a control host is provided. The detection device is configured to detect a biometric characteristic to accordingly identify a user ID, and output an ID signal according to the user ID. The control host is configured to receive the ID signal to accordingly perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

Claims (29)

1. An individualized control system, comprising:

a work station configured to detect a biometric characteristic to identify a user ID according to the biometric characteristic, and output an ID signal according to the identified user ID;

a wearable accessary configured to detect a heartbeat, and activate a confirmed state when the ID signal is received and the heartbeat is continuously detected; and

a control host configured to receive a confirmed signal sent from the wearable accessary after the wearable accessary activates the confirmed state, and perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

2. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the heartbeat is not detected by the wearable accessary in the confirmed state, the confirmed state is left.

3. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein after activating the confirmed state, the wearable accessary is configured to respond the work station to cause the work station to stop outputting the ID signal.

4. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control host is configured to receive the confirmed signal through a Bluetooth communication or a RFID technology.

5. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the biometric characteristic is selected from the group consisting of a fingerprint, an iris, a face, a voiceprint, an atrial fibrillation, a heart rate variability and a second derivative of photoplethysmogram.

6. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the individualized control is selected from the group consisting of a home appliance control, a power system control, a vehicle device control, a security system control and a warning device control.

7. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control host comprises multiple receivers at different places configured to receive the confirmed signal Sc.

8. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.

9. An individualized control system, comprising:

a work station comprising a Bluetooth device, the work station configured to detect a biometric characteristic to identify a user ID according to the biometric characteristic, and turn on the Bluetooth device when the user ID is confirmed;

a wearable accessary configured to detect a heartbeat, and activate a confirmed state when a Bluetooth link with the Bluetooth device is accomplished and the heartbeat is continuously detected; and

a control host configured to receive a confirmed signal sent from the wearable accessary after the wearable accessary activates the confirmed state, and perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

10. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein when the heartbeat is not detected by the wearable accessary while the confirmed state is active, the confirmed state is left.

11. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the Bluetooth link is released after the wearable accessary activates the confirmed state.

12. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the control host is configured to receive the confirmed signal via a Bluetooth communication or a RFID technology.

13. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the biometric characteristic is selected from the group consisting of a fingerprint, an iris, a face, a voiceprint, an atrial fibrillation, a heart rate variability and a second derivative of photoplethysmogram.

14. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the individualized control is selected from the group consisting of a home appliance control, a power system control, a vehicle device control, a security system control and a warning device control.

15. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the control host comprises multiple receivers at different places configured to receive the confirmed signal.

16. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.

17. An individualized control system, comprising:

a work station configured to detect a biometric characteristic to identify a user ID according to the biometric characteristic, and output an ID signal according to the identified user ID;

a wearable accessary configured to detect a heartbeat, send a confirmed signal after the ID signal is received and the heartbeat is continuously detected; and

a control host configured to receive the confirmed signal sent from the wearable accessary, and perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

18. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the control host comprises multiple receivers at different places configured to receive the confirmed signal.

19. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 17 , wherein when the heartbeat is not detected, the wearable accessary is configured to stop sending the confirmed signal.

20. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the wearable accessary is configured to actively or passively send the confirmed signal.
