Abstract

A control system including a detection device and a control host is provided. The detection device is configured to detect a biometric characteristic to accordingly identify a user ID, and output an ID signal according to the user ID. The control host is configured to receive the ID signal to accordingly perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

Claims (46)

1. A detection device of an individualized control system, comprising:

a portable device configured to detect a biometric characteristic or a user input to identify a user ID according to the biometric characteristic or the user input, and output an ID signal according to the identified user ID; and

a wearable accessary configured to detect a respiration signal in a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal, send a confirmed signal after the ID signal is received and the respiration signal is continuously detected, and not send the confirmed signal when the respiration signal is not detected.

2. The detection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the biometric characteristic is selected from the group consisting of a fingerprint, an iris, a face, a voiceprint, an atrial fibrillation, a heart rate variability and a second derivative of photoplethysmogram, and

the user input is selected from the group consisting of a password, a gesture, knocks and a speech sentence.

3. The detection device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a control host configured to

receive the confirmed signal sent from the wearable accessary through a Bluetooth communication or a RFID technology, and

perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

4. The detection device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the individualized control is selected from the group consisting of a home appliance control, a power system control, a vehicle device control, a security system control and a warning device control.

5. The detection device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the vehicle device control comprises starting a vehicle using the confirmed signal.

6. The detection device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the security system control comprises unlocking a security system using the confirmed signal.

7. The detection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the portable device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistance or a notebook computer, and

the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.

8. A detection device of an individualized control system, comprising:

a portable device configured to detect a biometric characteristic or a user input to identify a user ID according to the biometric characteristic or the user input, and output an ID signal according to the identified user ID; and

a wearable accessary configured to detect an arc-like pattern in an energy distribution associated with multiple photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals, send a confirmed signal after the ID signal is received and the arc-like pattern is continuously detected, and not send the confirmed signal when the arc-like pattern is not detected.

9. The detection device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein

the biometric characteristic is selected from the group consisting of a fingerprint, an iris, a face, a voiceprint, an atrial fibrillation, a heart rate variability and a second derivative of photoplethysmogram, and

the user input is selected from the group consisting of a password, a gesture, knocks and a speech sentence.

10. The detection device as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a control host configured to

receive the confirmed signal sent from the wearable accessary through a Bluetooth communication or a RFID technology, and

perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

11. The detection device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the individualized control is selected from the group consisting of a home appliance control, a power system control, a vehicle device control, a security system control and a warning device control.

12. The detection device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the vehicle device control comprises starting a vehicle using the confirmed signal.

13. The detection device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the security system control comprises unlocking a security system using the confirmed signal.

14. The detection device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein

the portable device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistance or a notebook computer, and

the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.

15. A detection device of an individualized control system, comprising:

a portable device configured to detect a biometric characteristic or a user input to identify a user ID according to the biometric characteristic or the user input, and output an ID signal according to the identified user ID; and

a wearable accessary configured to calculate a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal, send a confirmed signal after the ID signal is received and the calculated SNR is continuously larger than an SNR threshold, and not send the confirmed signal when the calculated SNR is not larger than the SNR threshold.

16. The detection device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein

the biometric characteristic is selected from the group consisting of a fingerprint, an iris, a face, a voiceprint, an atrial fibrillation, a heart rate variability and a second derivative of photoplethysmogram, and

the user input is selected from the group consisting of a password, a gesture, knocks and a speech sentence.

17. The detection device as claimed in claim 15 , further comprising a control host configured to

receive the confirmed signal sent from the wearable accessary through a Bluetooth communication or a RFID technology, and

perform an individualized control associated with the user ID.

18. The detection device as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the individualized control is selected from the group consisting of a home appliance control, a power system control, a vehicle device control, a security system control and a warning device control.

19. The detection device as claimed in claim 18 , wherein

the vehicle device control comprises starting a vehicle using the confirmed signal, and

the security system control comprises unlocking a security system using the confirmed signal.

20. The detection device as claimed in claim 15 , wherein

the portable device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistance or a notebook computer, and

the wearable accessary is a bracelet, a watch, a foot ring, a necklace, eyeglasses or an earphone.
