Abstract

Embodiments for intelligent premise security access management by a processor. Identification information of a user requesting access to enter a premise via a premise entry may be authenticated using a knowledge domain of trusted users in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing network. Entry access to the premise may be granted via the premise entry upon authenticating the identification information.

Claims

1. A method for intelligent premise security access management by a processor, comprising:

authenticating identification information of a user requesting access to enter a premise via a premise entry using a knowledge domain of trusted users in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing network;

granting entry access to the premise via the premise entry upon authenticating the identification information;

automatically collecting social media data of a user account of the user, wherein the social media data includes a plurality of media, content posts, social media contacts having a predefined social media distance to the user account, and information relating to the social media contacts; and

registering the social media data of the user account with the knowledge domain of trusted users for the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further including receiving the identification information from one of a plurality of devices, wherein the identification information includes biometric data, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag data, identification badge data, barcode data, or smartcard data.

3. The method of claim 1, further including:

collecting public information data of a plurality of persons from one or more public information databases;

storing the public information data of the plurality of persons in the knowledge domain of trusted users; and

comparing the public information data of the plurality of persons to the identification information to determine whether the identification information of the user matches the public information data of one of the plurality of persons.

4. The method of claim 1, further including requesting a second level of authentication from a trusted source associated with an occupant of the premise, wherein the trusted source is a user included within the knowledge domain of trusted users and authenticates the identification information.

5. The method of claim 1, further including:

initializing a machine learning mechanism for learning behavior of the user and social media contacts of the user; and

updating the knowledge domain of trusted users with a change in information pertaining to the user or social media contacts of a social media account of the user.

6. The method of claim 1, further including:

detecting an activation of an emergency alarm system;

granting immediate access to the user; and

providing an alarm notification to one or more trusted users associated with the knowledge domain of trusted users.

7. A system for intelligent premise security access management, comprising:

one or more computers with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to;

authenticate identification information of a user requesting access to enter a premise via a premise entry using a knowledge domain of trusted users in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing network;

grant entry access to the premise via the premise entry upon authenticating the identification information;

automatically collect social media data of a user account of the user, wherein the social media data includes a plurality of media, content posts, social media contacts having a predefined social media distance to the user account, and information relating to the social media contacts; and

register the social media data of the user account with the knowledge domain of trusted users for the user.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the executable instructions receive the identification information from one of a plurality of devices, wherein the identification information includes biometric data, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag data, identification badge data, barcode data, or smartcard data.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the executable instructions:

collect public information data of a plurality of persons from one or more public information databases;

store the public information data of the plurality of persons in the knowledge domain of trusted users; and

compare the public information data of the plurality of persons to the identification information to determine whether the identification information of the user matches the public information data of one of the plurality of persons.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the executable instructions request a second level of authentication from a trusted source associated with an occupant of the premise, wherein the trusted source is a user included within the knowledge domain of trusted users and authenticates the identification information.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the executable instructions:

initialize a machine learning mechanism for learning behavior of the user and social media contacts of the user; and

update the knowledge domain of trusted users with a change in information pertaining to the user or social media contacts of a social media account of the user.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein the executable instructions:

detect an activation of an emergency alarm system;

grant immediate access to the user; and

provide an alarm notification to one or more trusted users associated with the knowledge domain of trusted users.

13. A computer program product for intelligent premise security access management by a processor, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

an executable portion that authenticates identification information of a user requesting access to enter a premise via a premise entry using a knowledge domain of trusted users in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing network;

an executable portion that grants entry access to the premise via the premise entry upon authenticating the identification information;

an executable portion that automatically collects social media data of a user account of the user, wherein the social media data includes a plurality of media, content posts, social media contacts having a predefined social media distance to the user account, and information relating to the social media contacts; and

an executable portion that registers the social media data of the user account with the knowledge domain of trusted users for the user.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, further including an executable portion that receives the identification information from one of a plurality of devices, wherein the identification information includes biometric data, radio frequency identification (RFID) tag data, identification badge data, barcode data, or smartcard data.

15. The computer program product of claim 13, further including an executable portion that:

initializes a machine learning mechanism for learning behavior of the user and the social media contacts of the user; and

updates the knowledge domain of trusted users with a change in information pertaining to the user or social media contacts of a social media account of the user.

16. The computer program product of claim 13, further including an executable portion that:

collects public information data of a plurality of persons from one or more public information databases;

stores the public information data of the plurality of persons in the knowledge domain of trusted users; and

compares the public information data of the plurality of persons to the identification information to determine whether the identification information of the user matches the public information data of one of the plurality of persons.

17. The computer program product of claim 13, further including an executable portion that requests a second level of authentication from a trusted source associated with an occupant of the premise, wherein the trusted source is a user included within the knowledge domain of trusted users and authenticates the identification information.

18. The computer program product of claim 13, further including an executable portion that:

detects an activation of an emergency alarm system;

grants immediate access to the user; and

provides an alarm notification to one or more trusted users associated with the knowledge domain of trusted users.
