Abstract

Many embodiments can include a system. The system can comprise one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer readable mediums storing computing instructions. The computing instructions can be configured to run on the one or more processors and cause the one or more processors to perform: receiving, at a first sensor coupled in a fixed position relative to an automated door, a signal from a portable sensor associated with a user; in response to receiving the signal from the portable sensor, facilitating a customized opening actuation of the automated door or a customized closing actuation of the automated door, wherein at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation is customized for the user.

Claims (32)

1 . A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer readable mediums storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and cause the one or more processors to perform:

receiving, at a first sensor coupled in a fixed position relative to an automated door, a signal from a portable sensor associated with a user; and

in response to receiving the signal from the portable sensor, facilitating a customized opening actuation of the automated door or a customized closing actuation of the automated door, wherein at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation is customized for the user,

wherein the facilitating of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation comprises initiating the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation earlier than previous actuations.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first sensor or the portable sensor comprise an ultrawideband transceiver or a Bluetooth low energy transceiver.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the facilitating of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation comprises increasing a speed of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation relative to previous actuations.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the facilitating of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation comprises initiating the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation later than previous actuations.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation is based on an intent of the user.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the intent of the user is based on one or more of on a distance of the user from the automated door, a velocity of the user, or a direction of the user relative to the automated door.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing instructions are further configured to run on the one or more processors and cause the one or more processors to perform:

receiving diagnostic information for the automated door from the user;

generating a building-wide map displaying the diagnostic information; and

transmitting the building-wide map to a building maintenance system.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the diagnostic information comprises one or more of a location of the automated door, a battery life of an actuation mechanism of the automated door, a speed of the at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation, a force of the at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation, a counter for actuations made by the automated door, a malfunction indicator of the automated door, or a location heat map of foot traffic around the automated door.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation take into account historical instances where the user has paused before passing through the automated door.

10 . A method, comprising:

receiving, at a first sensor coupled in a fixed position relative to an automated door, a signal from a portable sensor associated with a user; and

in response to receiving the signal from the portable sensor, facilitating a customized opening actuation of the automated door or a customized closing actuation of the automated door, wherein at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation is customized for the user,

wherein the facilitating of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation comprises increasing a speed of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation relative to previous actuations.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the first sensor or the portable sensor comprise an ultrawideband transceiver or a Bluetooth low energy transceiver.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the facilitating of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation comprises initiating the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation earlier than previous actuations.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the facilitating of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation comprises initiating the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation later than previous actuations.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation is based on an intent of the user.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the intent of the user is based on one or more of on a distance of the user from the automated door, a velocity of the user, or a direction of the user relative to the automated door.

16 . The method of claim 10 further comprising:

receiving diagnostic information for the automated door from the user;

generating a building-wide map displaying the diagnostic information; and

transmitting the building-wide map to a building maintenance system.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the diagnostic information comprises one or more of a location of the automated door, a battery life of an actuation mechanism of the automated door, a speed of the at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation, a force of the at least one of the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation, a counter for actuations made by the automated door, a malfunction indicator of the automated door, or a location heat map of foot traffic around the automated door.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the customized opening actuation or the customized closing actuation take into account historical instances where the user has paused before passing through the automated door.
