Patent Images
1. A method of handling a visitor at a smart environment that comprises a plurality of smart devices, the method comprising:
- detecting visitor information indicative of the visitor at the smart environment using a first smart device of the plurality of smart devices;
analyzing the detected visitor information using a computing system that is communicatively coupled to the first smart device;
based on the analyzing, communicating, using the computing system, a first environment notification to the smart environment via a second smart device of the plurality of smart devices;
determining, using the computing system, whether a system response is generated based on the communicated first environment notification; and
when it is determined that no system response is generated based on the communicated first environment notification, communicating, using the computing system, a second environment notification to the smart environment.

14. A method of handling a visitor at a smart environment that comprises a plurality of smart devices, the method comprising:
-
detecting visitor interaction information indicative of a particular interaction of the visitor with the smart environment using a first smart device of the plurality of smart devices; analyzing the detected visitor interaction information using a computing system that is communicatively coupled to the first smart device; based on the analyzing, determining, using the computing system, that the particular interaction of the visitor matches a pre-defined interaction type; and based on the determining, communicating, using the computing system, a particular user notification associated with the pre-defined interaction type to a user of the smart environment. - View Dependent Claims (15, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31)
