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 (39)

1. An individualized control system, comprising:

a portable device configured to detect a user input to identify a user ID according to the user input, and output an ID signal according to the identified user ID;

a wearable accessary configured to detect an attached status, and activate a confirmed state when the ID signal is received and the attached status 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 attached status is not detected by the wearable accessary in the confirmed state, the confirmed state is left, and

the attached status is detected by detecting at least one of a heartbeat, capacitance using a capacitive sensor, light intensity using an optical sensor, a temperature using a thermal sensor, sweat using a humidity sensor.

3. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein after activating the confirmed state, the wearable accessary is configured to respond the portable device to cause the portable device 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 user input is selected from the group consisting of a password, a gesture, knocks and a speech sentence.

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 6 , wherein the vehicle device control comprises starting a vehicle using the confirmed signal.

8. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the security system control comprises unlocking a security system using the confirmed signal.

9. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the portable device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistance or a notebook computer, and

the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.

10. An individualized control system, comprising:

a portable device comprising a Bluetooth device, the portable device configured to detect a user input to identify a user ID according to the user input, and turn on the Bluetooth device when the user ID is confirmed;

a wearable accessary configured to detect an attached status, and activate a confirmed state when a Bluetooth link with the Bluetooth device is accomplished and the attached status 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.

11. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein

when the attached status is not detected by the wearable accessary while the confirmed state is active, the confirmed state is left, and

the attached status is detected by detecting at least one of a heartbeat, capacitance using a capacitive sensor, light intensity using an optical sensor, a temperature using a thermal sensor, sweat using a humidity sensor.

12. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the Bluetooth link is released after the wearable accessary activates the confirmed state.

13. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the control host is configured to receive the confirmed signal via a Bluetooth communication or a RFID technology.

14. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the user input is selected from the group consisting of a password, a gesture, knocks and a speech sentence.

15. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 10 , 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.

16. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the vehicle device control comprises starting a vehicle using the confirmed signal.

17. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the security system control comprises unlocking a security system using the confirmed signal.

18. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein

the portable device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistance or a notebook computer, and

the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.

19. An individualized control system, comprising:

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

a wearable accessary configured to detect an attached status, and activate a confirmed state when the ID signal is received and the attached status 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.

20. The individualized control system as claimed in claim 19 , wherein

the user input is selected from the group consisting of a password, a gesture, knocks and a speech sentence, and

the attached status is detected by detecting at least one of a heartbeat, capacitance using a capacitive sensor, light intensity using an optical sensor, a temperature using a thermal sensor, sweat using a humidity sensor.
