Abstract

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect an individual who enters into a lobby of a building, retrieve context information corresponding to the individual, update a user profile of the individual to indicate the individual has arrived at the building, and control one or more access control devices to grant the individual access to the building based on the context information.

Claims (35)

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

detect an individual who enters into a lobby of a building;

retrieve context information corresponding to the individual;

update a portion of a digital twin of the individual to indicate the individual has arrived at the building, the digital twin including the context information representing an access right of the individual; and

control one or more access control devices to grant the individual access to the building based on the context information.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , wherein detecting the individual includes recognizing a physical characteristic of the individual.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , wherein the context information includes a security metric associated with the individual.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 3 , wherein controlling the one or more access control devices is in response to comparing the security metric to a threshold.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , wherein the context information includes a schedule having events associated with the individual.

6. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 5 , wherein controlling the one or more access control devices further includes displaying directions to the individual to a location of a next event on the schedule of the individual.

7. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , wherein the context information includes an interested person.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 7 , wherein updating the digital twin of the individual includes transmitting a notification to a device associated with the interested person indicating that the individual has arrived in the lobby.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , wherein the context information includes user preferences of the individual.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 9 , wherein updating the digital twin of the individual includes transmitting a notification to a provider of at least one of food or beverage based on the user preferences of the individual.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

detect a vehicle that enters into a parking lot;

identify an individual associated with the vehicle;

retrieve context information corresponding to the individual;

update a portion of a digital twin of the individual to indicate the individual has arrived in the parking lot, the digital twin including the context information representing an access right of the individual;

transmit a notification to a lobby personnel indicating that the individual has arrived in the parking lot; and

control one or more access control devices to grant the individual access to a building associated with the parking lot based on the context information.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein detecting the vehicle includes recognizing a license plate of the vehicle.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the context information includes a security metric associated with the individual.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 13 , wherein controlling the one or more access control devices is in response to comparing the security metric to a threshold.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein identifying the individual includes recognizing a physical characteristic of the individual.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the context information includes a schedule having events associated with the individual.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 16 , wherein controlling the one or more access control devices further includes displaying to the individual directions to a location of a next event on the schedule of the individual.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11 , wherein the context information includes interested persons.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processors transmit a notification to a device associated with at least one of the interested persons indicating that the individual has arrived in the parking lot.

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

detect an individual who enters into a lobby of a building;

retrieve context information corresponding to the individual;
