Intelligent gesture based security system and method
First Claim
1. A security system, comprising:
- a camera capable of monitoring a real time gesture;
a memory operable to store data;
a locking assembly having a locked state for securing access to a restricted area and an unlocked state for providing access to the restricted area to an authorized user; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the locking assembly, and the camera;
the processor operable to execute one or more modules in the memory to;
(a) utilize the camera to detect a gesture from the authorized user;
(b) store the detected gesture in the memory;
(c) compare the detected gesture to an unlock gesture, wherein the unlock gesture is stored in memory from a first previously recorded gesture performed by the authorized user;
(d) upon determining that the detected gesture is within a predetermined threshold of the unlock gesture, causing the locking assembly to change from the locked state to the unlocked state;
(e) upon determining that the detected gesture is not within the predetermined threshold of the unlock gesture, requiring a reset gesture, wherein the reset gesture is stored in memory from a second previously recorded gesture performed by the authorized user; and
(f) upon determining that the reset gesture has been made by the authorized user, the processor repeats steps (a) through (f).

Abstract
The present disclosure includes intelligent gesture controlled security systems. A security system acts as a gateway between a user and a restricted area, whether physical or electronic. One gesture controlled security system includes a camera capable of monitoring a real time gesture, a memory operable to store data, a locking assembly having a locked state and an unlocked state, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the locking assembly, and the camera. The processor is operable to utilize the camera to detect a gesture, store the detected gesture in the memory, compare the detected gesture to a stored gesture, and only upon determining that the real time gesture is within a predetermined threshold of the stored gesture, causing the locking assembly to change from the locked state to the unlocked state.

17. A security system, comprising:
-
a camera capable of monitoring a real time gesture; a memory operable to store data; a locking assembly having a locked state for securing access to a restricted area and an unlocked state for providing access to the restricted area to an authorized user; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the locking assembly, and the camera;

(a) utilize the camera to detect a gesture from the authorized user;
(b) store the detected gesture in the memory;
(c) compare the detected gesture to an unlock gesture, wherein the unlock gesture is stored in memory from a previously recorded gesture performed by the authorized user; and
(d) only upon determining that the detected gesture is within a predetermined threshold of the unlock gesture, causing the locking assembly to change from the locked state to the unlocked state;wherein; the unlock gesture is a series of discrete gestures that are each stored as a portion of a sequence that is dynamically re-ordered by the security system; and the dynamic re-ordering of the sequence of discrete gestures includes requiring a second discrete gesture that is chosen by the processor based on a first discrete gesture detection. - View Dependent Claims (18)
