Patent Images
1. A method of handling a visitor at a smart environment that comprises at least one smart device, the method comprising:
- acquiring, at a computing system, unique invitation identification information;
defining, at the computing system, a mode setting that is associated with the acquired unique invitation identification information and the smart environment, wherein the defined mode setting comprises at least one platform action;
after the defining, receiving, at the computing system from the smart environment, invitation identification data detected by the at least one smart device from the visitor, wherein the received invitation identification data comprises the unique invitation identification information;
analyzing, using the computing system, the unique invitation identification information of the received invitation identification data from the smart environment to identify the defined mode setting associated with the unique invitation identification information and the smart environment; and
automatically carrying out, using the computing system, the at least one platform action of the identified defined mode setting based on the analyzing.
