SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING ACCESS TO AND OCCUPATION OF A LOCATION BY INDIVIDUALS BASED ON PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT OF INDIVIDUALS
A method and apparatus for managing access to, and occupation of, a location by one or more individuals, is provided. A location access control system is provided having data access to a maintained registry of one or more individuals allowed access to the location and configured to detect the presence of the one or more individuals at the location. Repeated physiological measurement information for one or more individuals detected as physically present at the location is received by the system. The repeated physiological measurement information is compared to a threshold level and when the physiological measurement information exceeds the threshold level, a notification is issued to the one or more individual associated with the physiological measurement information they must immediately vacate the location, or as a result of the automatic notification, be subject to further examination by security or medical staff.
1 . A method of managing access to, and occupation of, a location by one or more individuals, the method comprising:
providing a location access control system managing access and occupation of the location having data access to a maintained registry of one or more individuals allowed access to the location, the registry including contact information for the one or more individuals, the location access control system configured to detect a presence of the one or more individuals at the location;
receiving repeated physiological measurement information associated with the one or more individuals who are detected as physically present at the location by the location access control system, the physiological measurement information recorded and received automatically at a predetermined frequency;
comparing the repeated physiological measurement information to a threshold level; and
when the physiological measurement information exceeds the threshold level, automatically updating the location access control system, and utilizing the contact information, issuing a notification to the one or more individual associated with the physiological measurement information they must immediately vacate the location.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement information is provided by a personal physiological measurement sensing device on each of the one or more individuals at the location.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement information is provided by a third-party service that collects information from personal physiological measurement sensing devices on individuals at the location.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving physiological measurement information comprises:
sending a request for physiological measurement information for one or more individuals at the location; and
receiving in response to the request, physiological measurement information for the one or more individuals.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification comprises a text message, email, or pop-up notification to one or more users.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the location comprises a workplace, school, community gathering place, location, checkpoint, venue, transportation hub, vehicle, or location having a form of controlled access.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement information is received by one or more devices at the location configured to acquire physiological measurement information.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement information comprises historical physiological measurement information for the individual.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising preventing an individual with physiological measurement information exceeding the threshold from entering the location.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving location information data for the one or more individuals issued a notification.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement comprises one or more of an individual's temperature, blood oxygen level, heart rate including resting heart rate, and respiratory rate.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physiological measurement information is provided to a third-party cloud service that stores the information.
13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein health data other than the physiological measurement information is provided to a third-party cloud service that stores the information.
14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a third-party service provides data storage and analysis of the physiological measurement information and generates a status indication relating to whether the individual is contagious.
15 . A system of managing access to, and occupation of, a location by one or more individuals, the system comprising:
a registry of one or more individuals granted access to the location, the registry including contact information for the one or more individuals;
one or more physiological measurement sensing devices that collects physiological measurement information on the one or more individuals;
a location access control system managing access and occupation of the location having data access to the registry, wherein the location access control system detects a presence of one or more individuals at the location; and
a monitoring system, wherein the monitoring system receives repeated physiological measurement information associated with the one or more individuals who are detected as physically present at the location by the location access control system, the physiological measurement information recorded and received automatically at a predetermined frequency, compares the repeated physiological measurement information to a threshold level, and when the physiological measurement information exceeds the threshold level, automatically updates the location access control system, and utilizing the contact information, issues a notification to the one or more individual associated with the physiological measurement information they must immediately vacate the location.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more physiological measurement sensing devices comprise a personal physiological measurement sensing device on each of the one or more individuals at the location.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the physiological measurement information is provided by a third-party service that collects information from personal physiological measurement sensing devices on individuals at the location.
18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification comprises a text message, email, or pop-up notification to one or more users.
19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the location comprises a workplace, school, or community gathering place.
20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the physiological measurement sensing devices comprise one or more devices at the location configured to acquire physiological measurement information.
21 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the physiological measurement information comprises historical physiological measurement information for the individual.
22 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the location access control system is further configured to prevent an individual with physiological measurement information exceeding the threshold from entering the location.
23 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the monitoring system receives location information for the one or more individuals issued a notification.
24 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the physiological measurement comprises one or more of an individual's temperature, blood oxygen level, heart rate including resting heart rate, and respiratory rate.
25 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the physiological measurement information is provided to a third-party cloud service that stores the information.
26 . The system of claim 15 , wherein health data other than the physiological measurement information is provided to a third-party cloud service that stores the information.
27 . The system of claim 15 , wherein a third-party service provides data storage and analysis of the physiological measurement information and generates a status indication relating to whether the individual is contagious.
