Abstract

Embodiments are generally directed to a system and techniques to grant or deny access to a space.

Claims (80)

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

processing, by a smart building system, an indication based on a detection made by a smart device of the smart building system, the indication to indicate a presence of a person attempting to gain access to a space;

communicating, by the smart building system, the indication to one or more devices associated with the space;

receiving, by the smart building system, information from a device of the one or more device, the information to indicate whether to grant or deny the access to the space;

determining, by the smart building system, whether to grant or deny access to the space based on the information; and

in response to determining to grant the access to the space, causing, by the smart building system, a smart access control device to grant access to the space; or

in response to determining to deny access to the space, causing, by the smart building system, the smart access control device to deny access to the space.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , comprising:

capturing, by the smart building system, video data, audio data, or combination thereof by the smart device; and

communicating, by the smart building system, the video data and/or audio data captured by the smart device to the device.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , comprising:

receiving, by the smart building system, video data, audio data, or combination thereof from the device; and

presenting, by the smart building system, the video data on a display, the audio data through a speaker, or a combination thereof.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart intercom device comprising one or more input devices, a camera, and a microphone, and the method comprising:

detecting, by the smart intercom device, the presence of the person attempting to gain access to the space via one or more of the camera, the microphone, or a combination thereof;

generating, by the smart intercom, the indication based on the presence of the person detected; and

sending, by the smart intercom, the indication to a server of the smart building system.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , comprising:

detecting, by the smart intercom device, an input by one of the one or more input devices to detect the presence of the person;

determining, by the smart building system, the device of the one or more devices to communicate the indication based on the input; and

communicating, by the smart building system, the indication to the device.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the input is a selection of a button, the button associated with the device of the one or more devices.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the input is a selection of an item in a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, the item comprising one or more of a name, an address, a phone number of a combination thereof, and the item associated with the device of the one or more devices.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , comprising:

applying, by the smart building system, object recognition to detect the presence of the person in video data captured by the camera of the smart intercom device;

applying, by the smart building system, another object recognition to determine text data in the video data, the text data comprising a name, a phone number, an address, or a combination thereof;

determining, by the smart building system, a device of the one or more devices to communicate the indication based on the text data; and

communicating, by the smart building system, the indication to the device.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , comprising:

receiving, by the smart building system, video data from a camera of the smart building system;

applying, by the smart building system, object recognition to detect the presence of the person in video data;

applying, by the smart building system, object recognition to determine text data in the video data, the text data comprising a name, a phone number, an address, or a combination thereof;

determining, by the smart building system, a device of the one or more devices to communicate the indication based on the text data; and

communicating, by the smart building system, the indication to the device.

10 . A computer-implemented system, comprising:

a plurality of smart devices; and

a computing device coupled with the plurality of smart devices, the computing device configured to:

receive and process an indication based on a detection made by a smart device of the plurality of smart devices, the indication to indicate a presence of a person attempting to gain access to a space;

determine a second computing device based on the indication;

communicate the indication to the second computing device;

establish a connection with the second computing device;

communicate video data, audio data, or a combination thereof to the second computing device, the video data, audio data, or the combination thereof associated with the detection;

receive a second indication from the second device, the second indication to indicate whether to grant or deny the access to the space;

grant or deny access to the space based on the second indication.

11 . The system of claim 10 , the computing device configured to:

in response to determining the second indication indicates to grant access to the space, cause a smart access control device to grant access to the space; or

in response to determining the second indication indicates to deny access to the space, prevent the smart access control device from granting access to the space.

12 . The system of claim 10 , the computing device configured to receive the video, the audio data, or the combination thereof from the smart device comprising a camera configured to capture the video data, and a microphone configured to capture the audio data.

13 . The system of claim 10 , the computing device configured to:

receive and process second video data, second audio data, or a combination thereof from the second computing device; and

present, the second video data on a display, the second audio data through a speaker, or a combination thereof.

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart intercom device comprising one or more input devices, a camera, and a microphone, the smart intercom device configured to:

detect the presence of the person attempting to gain access to the space via the one or more input devices, the camera, the microphone, or a combination thereof;

generate the indication based on the presence of the person detected; and

send the indication to the second computing device.

15 . The system of claim 14 , the smart intercom device configured to:

detect an input by one of the one or more input devices to detect the presence of the person; and

the computing device configured to determine the second computing device of the one or more devices to communicate the indication based on the input;

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the input is a selection of a button, the button associated with the second device of one or more devices.

17 . The system of claim 14 , the computing device configured to:

apply object recognition to detect the presence of the person in video data captured by the camera of the smart intercom device;

apply another object recognition to determine text data in the video data, the text data comprising a name, a phone number, an address, or a combination thereof; and

determine the second device of the one or more devices to communicate the indication based on the text data.

18 . The system of claim 10 , comprising a camera, and the computing device to:

receive the video data from the camera;

apply object recognition to detect the presence of the person in the video data;

apply object recognition to determine text data in the video data, the text data comprising a name, a phone number, an address, or a combination thereof;

determine the second device of one or more devices to communicate the indication based on the text data.

19 . A mobile device, comprising:

memory to store instructions of a mobile application; and

processing circuitry coupled with the memory, the process circuitry configured to process the instructions to:
