First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of potentially handling a visitor at a smart environment that comprises at least one smart device, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing system, first visitor identification data indicative of the visitor being detected at a first location at a first time;
analyzing, using the computing system, at least a portion of the received first identification data to determine that the visitor is of interest; and
automatically adjusting, using the computing system, a functionality of the at least one smart device of the smart environment based on the analyzing.

29. A system for potentially handling a visitor at a smart environment, the system comprising:
-
at least one smart device at the smart environment; and a computing system operative to; receive first visitor identification data indicative of the visitor being detected at a first location at a first time; analyze at least a portion of the received first identification data to determine that the visitor is of interest; and based on the determination that the visitor is of interest, adjust a functionality of the at least one smart device. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)

32. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions recorded thereon for:
-
receiving, at a computing system, first visitor identification data indicative of a visitor being detected at a first location at a first time; analyzing, using the computing system, at least a portion of the received first identification data to determine that the visitor is of interest; processing, using the computing system, at least a portion of the received first identification data to determine that the first location is within a predetermined distance of a smart environment; and automatically adjusting, using the computing system, a functionality of at least one smart device of a smart environment based on the analyzing and based on the processing.
