ZONE-BASED INDICATION OF PRESENCE OF TRUSTED OR UNTRUSTED PERSONNEL
Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for verifying a level of trust in a zone having multiple persons. One or more persons of the multiple persons within the zone can be identified and, based on identifying the one or more persons, it can be determined whether the one or more persons are associated with a level of trust. An observable indicator can be set to specify whether the multiple persons in the zone, including the one or more persons, are associated with the level of trust.
1 . A computer-implemented method for verifying a level of trust in a zone having multiple persons, comprising:
identifying one or more persons of the multiple persons within the zone;
determining, based on identifying the one or more persons, whether the one or more persons are associated with a level of trust; and
setting an observable indicator to specify whether the multiple persons in the zone, including the one or more persons, are associated with the level of trust.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the zone is a meeting room in a building.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein setting the observable indicator includes at least one of setting a light bar within the meeting room to a certain color, or sending an email, text message, or pup-up alert to one or more of the multiple persons that are in the meeting room or are scheduled to be in the meeting room.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the zone is a virtual meeting.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein setting the observable indicator includes at least one of setting the observable indicator in a client application for the virtual meeting, or sending an email, text message, or pop-up alert to one or more of the multiple persons that are attending, via the client application, the virtual meeting or are scheduled to attend, via the client application, the virtual meeting.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the one or more persons are associated with the level of trust includes verifying whether an identification of the one or more persons is associated with a valid certificate associated with the level of trust.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the valid certificate corresponds to the one or more persons at least one of having signed a non-disclosure agreement, having completed a training course, having a certification, or having a position at a corporation.
8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the one or more persons includes performing facial recognition to identify the one or more persons.
9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication of the level of trust to be associated with the zone for a period of time.
10 . An apparatus for verifying a level of trust in a zone having multiple persons, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to execute a trust verification system for:
identifying one or more persons of the multiple persons within the zone;
determining, based on identifying the one or more persons, whether the one or more persons are associated with a level of trust; and
setting an observable indicator to specify whether the multiple persons in the zone, including the one or more persons, are associated with the level of trust.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the zone is a meeting room in a building.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein setting the observable indicator includes at least one of setting a light bar within the meeting room to a certain color, or sending an email, text message, or pup-up alert to one or more of the multiple persons that are in the meeting room or are scheduled to be in the meeting room.
13 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the zone is a virtual meeting.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein setting the observable indicator includes at least one of setting the observable indicator in a client application for the virtual meeting, or sending an email, text message, or pop-up alert to one or more of the multiple persons that are attending, via the client application, the virtual meeting or are scheduled to attend, via the client application, the virtual meeting.
15 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein determining whether the one or more persons are associated with the level of trust includes verifying whether an identification of the one or more persons is associated with a valid certificate associated with the level of trust.
16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the valid certificate corresponds to the one or more persons at least one of having signed a non-disclosure agreement, having completed a training course, having a certification, or having a position at a corporation.
17 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein identifying the one or more persons includes performing facial recognition to identify the one or more persons.
18 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the trust verification system for receiving an indication of the level of trust to be associated with the zone for a period of time.
19 . A computer-readable medium storing instructions, executable by a processor, for verifying a level of trust in a zone having multiple persons, the instructions comprising instructions for:
identifying one or more persons of the multiple persons within the zone;
determining, based on identifying the one or more persons, whether the one or more persons are associated with a level of trust; and
setting an observable indicator to specify whether the multiple persons in the zone, including the one or more persons, are associated with the level of trust.
20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the zone is a meeting room in a building or a virtual meeting room.
